Antoni Cieszyński


Antoni Cieszyński was a Polish physician, dentist and surgeon.
Cieszyński was a professor and head of the Institute of Stomatology at Lviv University. He became the editor and publisher of Polska Dentystyka in 1930; the journal was renamed Polska Stomatologia and Słowiańska Stomatologia. Among his contributions to dentistry are the rules of isometry that allow for the bisecting angle to accurately reproduce dimensions in x-radiology, and extraoral anæsthetising techniques.
During the WW2 in 1941 Cieszyński with a number of other Polish university professors was summarily executed by the invading German forces in Lviv during the massacre of Lviv professors.
